Have You Seen Me?

Jaded
I look around me
Searching
Searching for what?
Answers to questions
That have no words?
Searching for me
Who I am
Who I used to be?
Someone I once knew
But can't recognize anymore.
Me
Or a figment of me
Created in my imagination
Looking for signs
That say which way to go
Left, right
Turn back
Or keep going
A flicker of a sign
The brake lights on a car
Something to prove...
Prove what?
That I'm still alive?
The blood I cry
Proves that I am
But you couldn't tell
I float through life
Not much to say
But angry words
A cover up
For all of this damn confusion.
Searching...
For who?
Or is it a place I look for?
Pure serenity
A sort of peace
To eat away at me
Until I can't help but smile
And laugh.
Searching...
Continuously...
Until the day I die?
Or will it stop?
When I find an answer
One simple answer
That tells me everything
Collectively
Who am I
And where do I belong?
Blood, sweat, and tears
I can do that.
Or can I?
Am I made to survive?
It seems so
All I've survived so far...
Pain...
But I think I'll
Continue searching
For all those damned
Answers
Searching...
For me.
